No, I mean like those fools you have up there you still operate under the dilerium that the north is superior to the south...but i'll admit...those guys with the Confederate Flag aren't exactly the brightest...at least they don't pretend to be intelligent...they're ignorant and they know it...and some are even proud. Besides, there aren't THAT many of those guys running around down here...

A couple of years ago I went back to Tennessee to visit relatives that I really never even knew I had, (it's a long story).

I was soooooo blown away. I was expecting white trash and came face to face with Southern Charm!!

One of the things that blew me away the most was that everyone's yards were immaculate, and we travelled around quite a bit. Even vacant lots were well maintained. Here in LA, you can find unkempt and overgrown yards in practically any neighborhood.

When you say LONGEST thread, does that mean the most posts, or the most pages? Because I could easily write a couple of pages per post....lol

lol...thanks for the support for the south. It isn't difficult to find something nice about the south...the north is a little more difficult...

and about the posts, i think we'll accept anything we can get, right?...so the longer the better! it'll give me something to read while I'm waiting for someone (ANYONE) to get online and take their turn so I can play!!!!! lol

Aah, Hoots, is it really necessary for your promotion of the deserving South to include the slagging of the North? Can't they both be pleasant? Vermont is nice and green...NYC is full of shockingly honest characters, which I would have thought would appeal to your southern sensibilities. I mean, I have no stake in this, being a foreigner, but anything I can do to promote trans-masondicksianic relations is worthwhile.

lol...thanks...where exactly did you visit? blind sounds like a TINY exaggeration

Went to University of Arkansas in Fayetteville twice while I schooled at Drury in Spring, MO. Went one time to Fayett to swim against them, and one time on a Fraternity Kidnapping Party where we kidnapped our senior members and took them there to just party.......

Guess which trip I was "blind" on for an additional 2 armies on Irkutsk....

The ground was rushing up at me. It had been one heck of a ride. And suddenly I wondered………

Ever look at someone's avatar and wonder what the person was really like? And if you really were a hot chick, would you use your real picture?

Anyway, I've been thinking that areyouincahoots' picture is much too cute to be real. And seriously, isn't she just a little toooo witty to be that cute? Then i saw ereandil's avatar. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'd be willing to bet big money that areyouforreal looks exactly like ereandil's avatar, (and more than likely) the opposite is just as true. So....if you're following my logic here, and you want to flirt with a hot babe, forget about areyouwhatever and start pm'ing ereandil......lol

Well what can I say, it is a dame cute pic. But i tell you I know a few cuties that are smart, unfotunelty most of them are taken, and the others moved away. . But I would not be suprised if that is realy her!

I was pretty slow to warm up to this thread but now find myself completely committed to the cause. I really like this kind of stream of consciousness posting.

The Giants are in town tonight and everyone is getting keyed up to go out and Boo Barry!! We have three sports talk radio stations in town and that's all anyone is talking about. It's pouring rain right now, so I don't know if that's going to work out or not, but Dodger Stadium only had one rainout all of last season so everyone is keeping their fingers crossed.

I'm all about being committed to this cause - I also think there's more of a challenge to this longest thread thing than we first realized. To me, you see, if the thread ceases to be the longest thread thread and becomes a longest thread about something other than being the longest thread, we will have defeated ourselves somehow. For a moment there a while back, I was afraid it would become something of a flame war thread between the north and the south, but I think we've retreated from the brink of ruin on that front.

I think to really be a thread about the longest thread, its subject matter can't be supplanted by anything really worth talking about - it kind of has to be a thread about nothing.

That said, I think a discussion of whether or not it is a thread about nothing is reasonably within the bounds of being nothing, so all your comments are welcome...
